The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff requests TRISO-X LLC. to supplement their responses to the requests for additional information (RAIs) issued via letter dated August 28, 2023 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)
Accession Number ML23230B191). These RAIs were issued to facilitate the NRC staffs review of your application for a new fuel fabrication facility located in Oak Ridge, TN. The original application was submitted via letter dated April 5, 2022 (ML22101A200) and supplemented by letters dated October 13, 2022 (ML22286A144), November 4, 2022 (ML22308A251) and February 29, (ML24060A239).
TRISO-X provided their initial responses to the RAIs via letter dated October 12, 2023, (ML23285A344). These responses were reviewed by the NRC staff and additional information is needed for resolution of the RAIs. The NRC staff held follow-up meetings with TRISO-X on December 11, 2023, December 14, 2023, January 8, 2024, January 11, 2024, January 17, 2024, January 23, 2024 (combined meeting summary - ML23332A074), February 1, 2024 (ML24043A240 - non-public), and February 21-22, 2024 (combined meeting summary -
ML24071A155) to discuss the additional information needed to resolve these RAIs. A slide presentation was provided to TRISO-X dated December 11, 2023 (ML23332A078 - non-public) to support the meeting discussions, which provided a high-level summary of the issues identified with the RAI responses. In addition, the NRC staff developed an additional bulleted list of issues regarding each of the RAIs, which is provided in enclosure 1.
TRISO-X should use the RAIs, the information in the slide presentation, feedback from the technical meetings, and the bullets in the enclosure to inform the development of supplement responses to the RAIs.
